About Teaching English in Thailand
Thailand is a popular destination for English teachers looking to live in one of the most beautiful, culturally rich countries on earth, where the people are so friendly, it's known as the "Land of Smiles." In Thailand, you can experience the frenetic buzz of Bangkok, take in the tranquility of Buddhist temples and museums, swim in the impossibly turquoise waters of breathtaking Phuket Beach or trek the mountains near Chiang Mai.
Thailand's low cost of living also draws teachers to this Southeast Asian destination, where it's possible to live a comfortable lifestyle on your teaching salary, enjoying Thai specialties at local restaurants and markets and traveling to exciting locations within the country on weekends and holidays.
